Nvidia Shield + Glasses

[Snow Bird 1]

Hi All;

OK, have to do this!!!! Any suggestions where to buy the Nvidia Shield and FPV glasses from? Older model is fine of course, used is fine, just have to get the HDMI/glasses to get the best from the Mavic. If the DJI FPV glasses take as long as the Mavic or does not work well on, say ANDROID (like FB Live Streaming for example), who knows how long they will be...

Any guidance appreciated!!

Have you tried flying FPV using your phone and VR headset?

You can buy the Nvidia Shield K1 here on Amazon for $199.

Any of these FPV goggles will work since they can be connected via HDMI.

No, but I believe they need a more recent phone than mine - I have a Samsung S5. I will double check though, thanks.

Yup, Will try and find used to minimize the price of the tablet + glasses. Have not really looked at how cost effective the glasses are yet I must admit. Thanks for the response!

Glasses are not really cost-effective at all. It's quite the luxury accessory.

You can use your Samsung S5 with any VR headset($20-50) and fly FPV using Litchi in FPV mode. You can control gimbal tilt with your head too.

Looks like I need to investigate Litchi sooner than I anticipated too!! And I was so happy to be flying and using most of what Mavic can do!!!

Guess my learning curve is going to get steeper before it flattens out!!!

OK, I get it - was wondering about screen controls while using headset - clever these folks!!! Samsung Gear VR was panned - is it still clumsy, or?? Will investigate and look at some more tutorials - guess I will have Litchi next week too!!!! Thanks so much for your input and guidance Guys...
